Chapter 2
By the time they reached Stein's place, the grinning sun had already begun to dose off. Kid knocked on the door.
"Professor Stein? Are you here? We have someone we wish for you to look at." The group waited a few moments, until they heard the familiar "whirrs" of squeaky wheels approaching the door. The door opened, showing the professor sitting backward on his usual chair, an unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth unshaven face. He propped his head against his hand lazily.
"Anything I can do for you, students?"
Maka spoke first.
"We'd like you to have a look at our friend Toki." Maka said, filling him in on the details.
"Interesting," Stein commented, giving Toki an once-over. A malicious glint appeared in his eye.
"I'd love to dissect you." He said menacingly, his voice rising with excitement.
Toki looked at Kid with confusion, and a bit of fear. She shuffled closer to him, feeding quick glances at Professor Stein and whispered, "Is he always like this?"
"Pretty much," Kid replied nonchalantly.
'Oh' she mouthed, letting her eyes be redirected at Stein.
"Well then, come inside students, and I'll have a look at her."
Stein led them to a small room with many chairs. The doctor clasped Toki on her thin shoulder (earning a fearful gasp from Toki) and asked everyone except her to wait.
"A medical examination is a private procedure. We will fill you in on the important details when we have finished." The group nodded, and Toki reluctantly walked behind Stein as he led her to the examining room.
The examining room was a small yet organized room with a single white bed with crisp sheets. Though the room smelled sickeningly sweet, it did not carry a foreboding feeling.
"Sit anywhere you like," Stein instructed, and Toki quietly did so.
"So," started Stein, "no memory eh?"
Toki nodded.
"That's too bad. Makes it a bit harder to find people who know you."
Toki noticed a flash appear in the doctor's eyes behind his glasses, but as soon as it appeared it vanished.
Stein steadied himself.
"I'm going to use Soul perception. Do you mind?"
Toki shook her head. She didn't even know what it was.
"Good"
Stein cracked his fingers, cracked his neck and adjusted his screw.
Toki instantly felt the air change around her. The Soul perception had definitely begun.
Stein began to mutter to himself, inconvenient to Toki until she heard, "interesting" escaped from his lips.
"What is?" she inquired.
The air pressure changed back to normal. Stein smirked.
"You're more than you appear to be, my dear."
Toki cocked her head questioningly until Stein informed her that they were done. When she ventured for an answer, he merely replied,
"I hate telling things twice. I will tell you when we see the others."
And she followed him out of the room.
Maka felt impatient. Why should she be? But then again, why shouldn't she be. This was Prof. Stein for crying out loud! Not that Toki wasn't injured or anything, she was just impatient. Maka grumbled. She was acting like Soul. She looked towards her partner; Soul was impatient, but then again he always was. Maka was obviously curious, but then again who wouldn't be? She was the only interesting thing happening at the moment, and she didn't seem like a bad person.
Meanwhile, Liz and Patty watched Kid shuffle his feet, twiddle his fingers and brush imaginary dust off his clothes. When Patty asked what the matter was, he merely replied, "She feels so familiar."
Both Thompson's had nothing to reply to that, and as such were rendered speechless. Then, all of a sudden, Kid stood up.
"They're back." He said.
In an instant everyone was at there feet, waiting to hear the news and quench their curiosity.
"Well?" said Soul.
Maka 'Maka-chopped' him.
"Stop being rude," she said shortly. She looked at Stein as if to ask the same thing with her eyes. Stein grinned.
"She certainly is an interesting one. A weapon that is."
The group was in shock. A weapon?
A billion questions swam through their heads. Why wasn't she at Shibusen? Did Shinigami-sama know? Where's her meister? Did she even have one?
As the questions clamored loudly through the group's brain, Stein interrupted their thoughts.
"But it gets even better. She's a Death Scythe."
There was a silence, followed by a tidal wave of questions annexed at both Stein and Toki.
Toki was confused by all of this. A weapon? A Death Scythe? What the hell was a Death Scythe?
She felt as though she were an alien dropped on an unsuspecting planet. Her new friends chatted on,
Toki interrupted them.
"What's a weapon?" she asked Stein.
"Well…" he began, turning his screw thoughtfully, but was soon interrupted by Soul.
"A weapon is a person with the ability to change into a weapon." He held out his arm. A flash of light overwhelmed him, and he transformed. Maka caught him with ease, and started where he left off.
"All weapons need to have a meister." She said,
"I'm Soul's and he's mine." She said with a smile, and a small blush appeared on her face.
Toki looked at Stein, the incredulous look never leaving her face. Stein leaned towards her, "Do you think you can do anything like that?"
Toki paused. She'd never seen anything like that before. At least, she didn't remember seeing anything like it. Though a gentle nagging at the back of her mind told her they weren't lying.
Although she was doubtful, she answered Stein, "I'll try, I suppose."
Liz and Patty stepped forward; they finally had their chance to make it up to the new girl. They felt guilty about pointing a gun at her, and they wanted to do something to make up for it.
"We can help you, if you like" Liz said hopefully.
Toki nodded, gratefully. She was going to need all the help she could get.
Their happy moment was interrupted by Stein, who then cleared his throat.
"Could you do it outside," he asked, "I don't want you to break anything, and I'm getting tired. Do you mind?" he yawned loudly.
"No problem," said Maka, saluting. Soul returned to his original state.
"Thanks a lot Professor." She said while leaving.
"Good night." replied Stein, as the children exited. He closed the door behind them.
"They really have no idea, do they?" He chuckled to himself as the darkness of his home devoured him.
Uhu 3
That's right. I'm cool.
I uploaded.
Just do you know, this is entirely new to me. You know, the whole "Author" business.
I'm usually the one that reads and draws pretty pictures for the ones that wrote it. (I'm not being *cough* sneaky and secretly making you all draw pretty things for me.
Also, depending on the lovely reviewers, I might upload my preliminary and final sketches for the characters (mainly Toki).
Like, what their outfits look like and so forth.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Please Read and Review.
